Re: PG506 of solid gold
I don't bother with sniping. I simply put in the price that I'm willing to pay and that's it. And I don't go and watch the auction. People that do always think that if they raise their bid "just

Re: Update (was RE: [TekScopes] TDS510 or TDS460A or 485 scopes as upgrade)
I'd *guess* lanolin (Gojo - pumice free variety) would work well too... (Obviously, I've not tried it... Don't own any 400 series devices.) David wrote:

Re: PG506 of solid gold

Re: Modifying W Plugin to use 6DJ8 Tubes
I know, it's seven years later. But I just acquired a Type W in the usual state, to wit, 8416's stolen. It looks to me like there's enough empty space to fit a small mains-powered 18V regulated

Hi Steve, I suspect the noise is coming from the circuit you are measuring with the FET probe. A simple test should be able to determine if the probe or the circuit you connect the probe to is the
